What to do
**Beach exploration: Access to both calm and rugged beaches within walking distance from several campgrounds. Cape Blanco State Park Campground offers trail access to diverse coastal environments. "You can walk to the lighthouse and the beach from the campground," notes one visitor, adding that "the campground is gorgeous! It's nestled among Sitka spruce trees. They provide a lot of privacy between you and your neighbors."
**Lighthouse tours: Historical structures available for touring during daytime hours with nominal admission fees. Visitors at Bullards Beach State Park Campground appreciate the proximity to maritime landmarks. "Lighthouse is about 3 miles from campground. Town of Bandon is right over the bridge about 3 miles. Restaurants and stores. Coos Bay 45 min north," reports one camper who found this arrangement convenient for day trips.
**Kayaking: Sheltered waters at Hunter Creek provide calm paddling opportunities for beginners. "Hunter Creek looks like a great sheltered place to kayak," mentions a visitor at Turtle Rock RV Resort, noting the easy water access directly from the campground.
What campers like
**Private settings: Cabins set among trees create secluded camping experiences. "Very private spots with lots of trees and greenery," writes a camper at Bullards Beach State Park, adding that "they have bathrooms and showers if needed. Close to beach and nice to walk around campgrounds with 3 camping areas."
**On-site amenities: Many locations offer extras beyond basic accommodations. Turtle Rock RV Resort provides unexpected luxuries with their cabin rentals. "There are plenty of amenities, including a delicious Mexican restaurant, horseshoes, volleyball, a nice bath house with laundry. They even have these cute tiny-house cabins that you can rent, some with patios and hot tubs!!"
**Wildlife viewing: Frequent wildlife sightings enhance the camping experience. "We were next to the bathroom but still had plenty of privacy. The staff was very friendly. The location next to the river is beautiful and the short walk to the ocean is so convenient," writes one visitor who appreciated watching coastal birds and marine life.
What you should know
**Weather patterns: Coastal conditions change rapidly and vary by location. Sunset Bay State Park Campground experiences unique weather patterns. "Heads up if it's hot in the valley it'll be foggy on this shore but Coos Bay is just a 10 minute drive and it can still be sunny there!" notes a camper who discovered this microclimate phenomenon.
**Reservation requirements: Most cabins must be booked well in advance, especially during summer. "We decided to stay here because you can hike from the campground through the dunes and to the beach. It was a beautiful .75 mile hike to a gorgeous beach. The campground itself was quiet and populated with wild turkeys. We were there off season, so we had no problem finding a site day of."
**Off-season advantages: Lower rates and better availability from November through April. At Bandon-Port Orford KOA, campers note the seasonal differences: "Employees were super friendly and the campground was wooded and beautiful. Tent site was a little small, but small fences have been installed to create privacy between campers and the size didn't bother us."
Tips for camping with families
**Activity spaces: Look for campgrounds with playgrounds and open areas. "There is a day area open to the public overlooking the beach so lots of kid noise during the day but far off from our site. Beach is Ez access (maybe 1/4 walk or drive)," notes a visitor at Bastendorff Beach Park, highlighting the family-friendly atmosphere.
**Cabin options: Several parks offer specialized family cabins with bunk beds and additional space. "The cabins are fairly new but mine had some needed repairs already," observes a guest at Bay Point Landing, suggesting families inspect accommodations upon arrival.
**Off-peak visiting: Weekdays during school seasons provide quieter experiences. "Once the weekend is over there were only a few. The staff is very friendly the grounds are kept very clean. There's good showers and there's water sources close by and there's fire pits," explains a camper who found the weekday experience much calmer.
Tips from RVers
**Size limitations: Many cabin areas have limited parking for additional vehicles. "This is an older park and wasn't designed for today's RVs. The driveways are narrow and so are the sites leaving little room for maneuvering and for the slide outs," cautions a visitor at Sunset Bay State Park.
**Utilities planning: Not all cabin sites include full hookups or WiFi. Dew Valley Ranch Nature Retreat offers a more rustic approach to cabin camping. "It is very well-maintained, rustic, and peaceful. You were greeted upon your arrival and told all about all of the amenities. Do you have a chance to interact with the horse, pig, and two goats."
**Alternative options: Consider yurts as alternatives to cabins at several parks. "They have tent sites, yurts, horse camp, and RV sites of all types. It's nestled in the beautiful Cape Arago area of the South-Central Oregon coast," explains a visitor describing the diverse accommodation options.
